Requirements
Requirements to use this library are:
- NPM - Package built with version @6.14.5 .
- NodeJS - Package built with version @12.18.2 .
You cand download them here.
Install
You can install the library via NPM. Run the following command:
npm install @ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js
Also, if you are working with old browsers that don't have support for Promise objects, we recomend install the dependency promise-polyfill:
npm install promise-polyfill
Remember that this package needs to be imported somewhere in your project or this polyfill won't be applied.
Getting Started
Using public URLs
import ILovePDFApi from '@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js';
const instance = new ILovePDFApi('<PUBLIC_KEY>');
// Public and secret key can be found in your developer panel
// at https://developer.ilovepdf.com/user/projects .
const task = instance.newTask('merge');
// Promise-based way to use ILovePDFApi.
task.start()
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('<PDF_URL1>');
})
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('<PDF_URL2>');
})
.then(() => {
return task.process();
})
.then(() => {
return task.download();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('DONE');
});
Using ILovePDFFile class
import ILovePDFApi from '@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js';
import ILovePDFFile from '@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js/ILovePDFFile';
const instance = new ILovePDFApi('<PUBLIC_KEY>');
const task = instance.newTask('merge');
task.start()
.then(() => {
const inputElement = document.getElementById('file-element');
const file = new ILovePDFFile(inputElement.files![0]);
return task.addFile(file);
})
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('<PDF_URL2>');
})
.then(() => {
return task.process();
})
.then(() => {
return task.download();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('DONE');
});
Use sync calls
Thanks to be a promise-based API it is possible use the await
JavaScript operator in order to call Task methods. Here you have an example:
let task = instance.newTask('merge');
task = await task.start();
task = await task.addFile('<PDF_URL1>');
task = await task.addFile('<PDF_URL2>');
task = await task.process();
const data = await task.download();
Get PDF information
On upload a file from an <input type="input">
or URL, you will have access to some PDF information:
import ILovePDFApi from '@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js';
import ILovePDFFile from '@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-js/ILovePDFFile';
const instance = new ILovePDFApi('<PUBLIC_KEY>');
const task = instance.newTask('merge');
task.start()
.then(() => {
// File from browser input element.
const inputElement = document.getElementById('file-element');
const file = new ILovePDFFile(inputElement.files![0]);
return task.addFile(file);
})
.then(file1 => {
// Access to PDF information.
// file1.pageNumber
// file1.pageSizes
// File from URL.
return task.addFile('<PDF_URL2>');
})
.then(file2 => {
// Access to PDF information.
// file2.pageNumber
// file2.pageSizes
});
Get remaining files
Due to this library is limited by number of uses, you can access to the account remaining files:
const task = instance.newTask('merge');
await task.start();
// After start a task, you can access to the remaining files quantity.
// Before, it's `undefined`.
console.log( task.remainingFiles )
